I must kinda agree

The game is about 48mins and shouldnt be entirely changed within the last 30 seconds.. which has also happend to me a lot.

When I stopped watching basket in TV, I had the following thinking: In this sport, you don´t need to see the whole match because most often you just need to see the last 5 min! So I guess, the GE is working fine by simulating this.

In general, I think the end of the games it is NOW better than before the changes (maybe BB-Forrest wants some feedback about this).

i'll try to do a more complete analysis of 4th quarter 3 point shots versus normal. I'd be sort of surprised if it turned out to be significantly different as we didn't change the probabilities at all.

I wonder what the math is in real life. On one hand there is more pressure in the 4th quarter, on the other hand the team that is up often plays less aggressive defense to avoid fouling in the act on 3 pointers. So i wouldn't be blown away if there was a slight uptick in 3 point percentage during the 4th quarter.

I could understand a slight raise in 3 point percentage, but certainly not on desperation 3s that are taken 2 or 3 seconds after the ball is inbounded on the other side of the field. Which seems to be what is happening.
